—“Political Violence Is a Game the Right Can’t Win”—
followed by justifications…
Theory is not empirical. study mao, isis, arab spring, ukraine, the rapid acquiescence once the civil rights movement went violent. note the acceleration of time frames. The usa is fragile. the left would use mass violence, the right mass attack on infrastructure.
Statistically speaking, women are better with credit and safe-investing (conformity, obedience, and risk aversion), and men better with money, finance, and entrepreneurship (risk). As usual, women are better gatherers and men better hunters.

I wanted to take home ec, so I could learn about running a household, and they wouldn’t let me. I took Marriage and Family in catholic school because it was REQUIRED. One of the most valuable classes in my life. Life is not obvious. They don’t want us running home to criticize our parents, to to be aware of our relative stations in life. But the truth is our parents are possibly competent and possibly not, and our stations in life are in our genes – with random chance the only thing that alters them.
Home finance and investing.
Managing a household
Cooking more than boiling water.
How to have a marriage that lasts – for each of the classes.
How to raise any number of children and the value of it.
How to win friends and influence people – in different classes
(I dunno how other people do it, but I start with a drop of olive oil, add onions, garlic, bacon and celery – all chopped quite small, and cook them thoroughly, then add the diced beef and cook (fry) it nice and brown. I add the vegetable stock, sea salt, black pepper, parsely, a LOT of dried oregano, enough chili powder to get that chocolaty hint, but not enough to identify it, bring it to boil, add just a little tomato paste, the potatoes and carrots, and I cook it all, stirring frequently until the potatoes break down and create the thickness without needing to add flour. Then I slice the mushrooms and serve when they are done. If I am feeling a bit evil I add a bit of scotch to it – just enough so you aren’t sure what it is you taste. This all takes a bit. I sometimes add pasta shells, or serve over rice, or just serve with a slice of course bread. But it is awesome comfort food. If I had a garden again I’d add some finely chopped greens….. My intuition says that it’s the strange combination of dried oregano and chili powder with the boiled down potatoes and tomato paste that makes it ‘right’. Anyway. It makes managing this cold much more enjoyable. 😉 )
Stoicism regresses through patience, endurance, submission, sacrifice, surrender.
The alternative is radical self-love, love of country and love of kin. Radical as in roots-based (thanks Daniel Roland Anderson for reminding me that “radical” refers to roots.)

I think he’s important as the founder of science. But history, war, economics, law, physics, logic mathematics. Aside from austrian econ I haven’t found anything that tries to create a unified psychological and social science, and I ended up with propertarianism as that unified social science. My reading list is what it is. I don’t think it’s possible to do better. I’ve also included Jayman’s reading list as a link from mine, and that takes it down into biology.Dec 2, 2018, 4:28 PMKevin WuAvid readers of yours can fill in the terms themselves.

ANGLO CIVILIZATION HAS PERSISTED FOR A VERY LONG TIME BY MODERN STANDARDS: CONSTANT REVISION AND RESTORATION
You can’t control a constitutional convention. It’s a random number generator which is why no one will tolerate it.
Forcing Surrender to a set of demands for a set of constitutional changes on the other hand has a consistent record of success in anglo saxon civilization.
